Question

How is acceleration related to Newton’s second law of motion?

Answer 1

Second Newton's law states: (I will do this simply without vectors)

\(\color{#000000}{ \displaystyle {\rm F}={\rm m}\cdot {\rm a} }\)

where, F - force (applied on the object), m - mass (of the object), a - acceleration (in the direction of the force applied (or, in the direction of the F))

Answer 2

So the acceleration is not just related, it is the essence of the Newton's Second law.

Answer 3

well, you can certainly see at least some connection ... :)
